[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amy thoughts on this?[/quote] OP I work in the special ed space. My thoughts: many 3rd graders with slow processing also have ADHD that causes them to rush through these tests. As you might expect, their scores reflect it. Later on, many of them will be given stimulant meds, tutors, and EF coaches. All of these will help them slow down and attend. But for now, they are rushing through and your DD is not, so your DD probably thinks she's the slowest kid in her class. 26th %ile is by no means the slowest processing speed in many classrooms. My point is that if I were you, my top priority would be to build her up emotionally, because she is probably discouraged. The older she gets, the more she'll look to her peers to judge what is "normal" so it's important to counteract this now, by helping her understand what to focus on (test strategies and understanding which tests are for what purpose) and what not to focus on (speed).
